PM103x Optical Power Meter Interfaces Chapter 4 Operating Instructions
For working with static IP on the power meter, please note the MAC ID of the meter and contact your
system administrator. The MAC ID and following settings can be queried or performed by the meter’s
display operation (PM5020) or via serial interface (PM103E & PM5020).
Static IP address and subnet mask can then be entered. Finally, DHCP must be deactivated, for more
details refer to chapter Static-IP .
All recently used ethernet devices are listed in the bottom of the Network configuration dialogue
window. A reconnection can be done by double-clicking the line.
Firmware upgrades are possible as well with the ethernet connection. Open the update wizard, open
the associated dfu file, enter the device IP address and port number 27007. Or double click the device if
it is listed in the dialog window.
Press “Next” and wait until completion.
Within the network, per LAN or WLAN or via VPN, it is further possible to open within any web browser
a web viewer typing the known instrument’s IP address. This viewer is limited to one user per
instrument.
The web viewer shows the current measurement values, device settings and configurations. For the
PM103E, there is a password protected SCPI console to send commands or query results from the
instrument. The password is the same as for the encryption, with “THORlabs” as default.
